I got 44 with my 01 750 running on a 55mph highway for about 3 hours
and thats with getting on it for some twisties and passing people but
normally I get around 37-40 average. It can be said that I have a vac leak
somewhere and a newly developed exhaust leak so I dont get what I should
its all completely subjective.. if I'm roaring around with ther speed grip ON... not so good...but on a trip to the rally in 10, I was getting about 60mpg in 6th on the slab.
I rode from Salem VA(filled to the brim in Salem) to Robbinsville NC on a single tank... I put 5.1 gallons in at the Texaco in the middle of Robbinsville
Had my '85 750 out last weekend on a 260-mile ride. Started with a full tank. We stopped and topped up at 90 miles, which took 2 gallons, so right at 45mpg. Then we ran 140 miles (I had to switch to reserve a few miles before we stopped) and it took 3.5 gallons to fill back up, so 40mpg. The factory rating was about 50mpg, so I think that's pretty good. Especially having a big-bore kit, aftermarket pipe and pod filters that necessitate much larger jets than stock. Apparently I ran it a bit harder after the first stop

depends on city or slab . obviously .... hi-eva. this past tank was 44.6 and the tank before was 42.4. im not a hot rodder and ride my bike for the open road and cheap commute. and i look damn good rollin down the road. not really im a legend in my own mind . im rollin a 05 ----750 and my only mod is a yoshi pipe. and plenty of wax... im cracking myself up...
im an american proud and free , a son of the south dont tread on me.
My 04 750 was better than a dressed Yamaha Venture and or a V-star
We would all leave in the morning full of fuel and I would usually not need to stop and get fuel until I got back home
The one time I did need to stop early in the day I teased the other guys that it was my first time buying fuel that season
never did the numbers ,just watch the gauge
If you're really interested ... you can read through my log book and get a good idea how economy fluctuates with usage type. But - 45mpg average and a best of 51mpg.
